Walking with the moon on the ‘Crete Senesi’

Beautiful and easy hiking immersed in one of the most evocative landscape of Tuscany. The Crete Senesi are the only continental European desert, i.e. what remained from an ancient seabed, of about 3 million years ago. Their rounded hills, sweet shapes, scattered farms and their particular morphology show us a unique landscape, that time and man have contributed shaping. We will walk among these natural beauties, immersing ourselves in a fairytale and suggestive land, where we will find the inspiration to dedicate ourselves to listening to the silence. This tour can be done at any time of the day, but it is at sunset and at night that it shows its greatest beauty.
